Describe Brian's rescue.

• A. A rescue helicopter found him.
• B. He accidentally left the emergency transmitter on and a fur buyer came and found him.
• C. He built a raft to escape.
• D. A passing ship rescued him.

Answer: (B)

The rescue hinges on an outside signal prompting help. In the story, Brian accidentally leaves the emergency transmitter on, and a fur buyer in the area hears or finds the beacon. That beacon leads the buyer to Brian, enabling the rescue. This matches the actual sequence: outside help arrives because the beacon was unintentionally left active, rather than a helicopter or ship arriving or Brian escaping on a raft. The other options describe events that don’t occur in the ending, such as a helicopter or ship rescuing him, or Brian escaping by raft.
